Abey Koshy Itty

Hi Makers , I'm Andy, author of Breaking into New Careers and EIR working on an Angel Investing School for patient capital, AMA I've had a portfolio career, starting off as a management consultant, before cofounding a bootstrapped startup (that my brother still runs today), starting a business within a business twice, developing my craft as a product manager, to joining the Obama Foundation Emerging Leaders programme and being named in the FT as a Top 10 BAME Leader in Tech. Recently published a new ebook called Breaking into New Careers for career transitioners who want to develop a personal brand, attract new clients as they freelance and balance working on their side projects. I believe the first page of Google is your new CV and this book explores how you can own it! Here to answer any questions about bootstrapping, angel investing, diversity in tech, portfolio careers, journaling, writing, transitioning into new careers, startups, personal branding, mental models, guiding principles, product management and me!

Lots of us makers invest in ads to drive traffic to our products so I was wondering how many of us actually watch ads ourselves. After you vote, tell us your rationale in the comments. Recommend your fave blockers, too if you use them.
